LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - John and Kelly Travolta were allegedly targeted by extortionists shortly after the tragic death of their teenage son Jett.

The details of the plot haven't been revealed, but media reports say officials in the Bahamas are investigating the incident and are questioning one person described as a "politician."

â€œRegrettably in a time of such terrible grief, there are often a few individuals who attempt to make false claims in hopes of making millions of dollars,â€ Travolta's attorneys said in a statement. â€œWe will never let that happen.â€
